A DISCOVERY

Paul Root hadn't been outside for days. He hadn't been out fishing and hadn't yet bought the 495 Workmate.
He had buried himself in his study reading all the back-posts of The Curmudgeon.

"Fascinating" he thought to himself. 

Strangely, The Curmudgeon's thoughts echoed his own and brought up long forgotten memories.

He read the comments for each post as well and noticed that there were two regular contributors.
One was that guy Richard from Richard's Bass Bag, the blog that he'd discovered when looking for information about bass fishing and which had serendipitously brought him to The Curmudgeon's blog.

The other was a joker named Robert who was an infrequent and erratic blogger with some disturbing views on most things.

Richard wrote strange posts. Paul thought that most of the posts were filler, followed by junk and with a smaller number of serious posts. He worried about this guy.

"How can someone go about without an oven door on his oven?" he thought. "What's that about?"

The other guy, Robert, wrote posts that were all junk. He also worried about this guy and was glad that he didn't live anywhere near him. He wouldn't want to share a road with him. From his reading of his posts and comments he learned that like Martin Luther this guy had been banned from catholic confession because he confessed to too many sins.

"Weird" thought Paul.

Taking a break from reading through The Curmudgeon's back posts which were tidily and very handily listed in a section named 'Blog Archive' in a column to the right of the blog, Paul noticed a section named 'Easy Links Service'.

"How clever" thought Paul. Not only are the links listed but they are highlighted by images of each of the important blogs that are dynamic and by clicking on them the reader is taken straight to that particular blog. "Fascinating".

Paul looked through the links and was thrilled to discover that The Curmudgeon had created many other curmudgeons each with their own unique themes.

"Fascinating" he thought as be settled down again to read.*
